Arrow Keys Moving Window Frame instead of Moving Between Cells
 

Every now and then when I'm using Excel 2003, my arrow keys will start
moving the frame around (as if I were scrolling) instead of moving
between cells. Is that because my scroll lock is on?

There is no light indicating if the scroll lock is on - I mean, there
is no such light on my laptop at all. Is there any way to tell within
Excel or on my PC?

If Scroll Lock is on, there should be a "SCR" indicator in the panels in the
lower right of the status bar.

Hi,

If the Scroll Lock is enabled - pressed, you will notice the page scrolling
with the cell selection anchored in that position. Likewise, if you disable
the Scroll Lock, the cell selection will move up and when using the UP and
DOWN arrow keys.
